答:这两词在意思上差不多,都是 彼此,互相的意思,两者均有所有格在实际运用中,这两个短语常可互换:We respect each other [one another]. 我们互相尊重 (对方)。
但是each other 指两者,other another指三者或三者以上。而且 each other 可折开用 (each…the other),而 one another则不能:We helped each other. =We each helped the other. 我们互相帮助。
要注意的是这两个短语均不能用作主语:正:We each know what the other thinks. 误:We know what each other [one another] thinks. 所以用它们作宾语的句子不能改为被动语态
造句:
each other强调两者之间相互的行为,比如:
Try to support each other when one of you is feeling down.
当有人觉得情绪低落时,要努力相互打气。
